They always want to be seen as victims.

It’s not my job to think for you. I already explained this more than once. You have trouble understanding it, have someone else explain it to you.

You’ve let your metaphor run away from you. This isn’t even close to the actual situation at hand.

I’m also in Orlando, and I’ve been getting these text like crazy

We got electric cars when all we had was the internal combustion engine. What a silly metaphor.

But it’s nice to hear you admit that I was right, and that the browser could definitely still be developed. The proof, of course, is that there are dozens of web browsers out there in active development.

That’s the exact argument you’re making: that X tools are the only way to develop a browser. Ignoring the entire world of other devices available.

Oh, great. And we’re gonna have Trump in control of FEMA.

People should evacuate now.

Oh, I thought it was canceled. The last season I saw was season two. I should check out season three!

You’re the only other person I have ever heard mention that they had watched that show. I liked it. I thought it was decent, but nobody else seemed to.

That’s not holding back browser development, that’s just holding back browser usage.

That’s definitely not the same thing.

Because “the church” only ever attract megalomaniacal fantasists who are prone to abuse their power.

I have no idea exactly what that means.

But Apple provides extensions for most functionalities, but, as you mentioned, they’re more limited because Apple used to require that extension developers register a $100 per year account in order to develop extensions.

They don’t do this anymore, but it was a big reason why Safari got held back, especially in the beginning of the browser wars.

Duh. The dude has the intellect of a 90-year-old rotten turd. What the fuck did you expect from him? Are you fucking stupid enough to think he would do any differently than suck Elon’s ball sack on the front lawn of the White House in front of a bunch of cameras?

If you did, I found the Trump voter.

While you are technically correct in that, everyone operating in Europe is required to comply with a GPR, there are many who don’t. And they face varying levels of punishment.

But Saudi Arabia is not in the EU, and social media company can register in whatever country they want despite their ownership.

So what will happen? They will fragrantly violate the GDPR, and escape any fines due to jurisdictional limitations. And even if they do face fines, there are some… “Political “ways to negate them.

Sadly, even Europe, as progressive as it is, sterilize on Saudi oil. That can always be used to pressure government representatives into complying with their well rather than the Will of the people.

It’s not capitalism without exploitation.

Personally, I find Safari to be a goddamn amazing browser, especially considering a lot of its features. People here, the free and open source folk, absolutely hate it on the sole purpose that it is owned by a corporation. And, although it does share user data, anonymize’s that data to a great degree, and also prevents fingerprinting. Also, Apple does not sell it data that it collects, they only use it for internal purposes.

I find no problem with that. I think another huge issue is the difficulty in writing Safari extensions – – especially, that you have to pay for access to the developer store (although they may have changed that for Safari ext devs).

I’m a user experience, designer, so whenever gives the best experience to the end user is, obviously, the correct choice. There’s only so much the “experts” get to have a say in how any random individual uses the tools at the disposal.

That said, I absolutely love Safari as a web browser, but I definitely understand how a lot of people do not.

Although I may not have been as effective as seeing it, that’s pretty much what I was trying to say. Thank you, I suppose, for putting it into more understandable and relatable terms.

That is always the operative word. Except for those who don’t can’t and will never accept that that word exists.

I like it, myself, but not when it’s a major global multi billion dollar corporation doing it.

Only in that they are both particularly anti-competitive. Mobile Safari is, whatever all others may say, far better than chrome, and it’s a pretty awesome browser.

But it does have some limitations to it that a very vocal minority absolutely hates. And that’s fair, but let’s get real about what is “holding back” other browsers: market share in monopoly.
